dubiousdave's Journal: netcraft confirms it, taco is dead

or something. From the Business 2.0 article 10 people who don't matter:

Rob Malda
Slashdot.org

Remember the days when "getting Slashdotted" was every sysadmin's worst nightmare? Referrals from the "News for Nerds" website would send so much traffic to websites that many crashed. But for those that survived the flood, it was the online equivalent of a papal benediction. Today, the buzz has moved elsewhere. Slashdot's editor-driven story selection model is being supplanted by user-generated systems such as Digg. According to recent Alexa data, Digg already has more daily reach and generates more page views than Slashdot. Malda knows his subject, and he's a good editor, but in the end, he's just no match for the power of the multitudes.

It's not big news; I just thought a lot of you would enjoy it, and would avoid the front page and miss it.

He's a good editor?

Apparently the good people at Business 2.0 have never read slashdolt.
